Since the Tabernacle Choir is on tour my morning was pretty relaxed. I talked with a dear granddaughter. Then aI got the chicken into the oven on low heat, called both of my co-hostesses to finalize our plans to feed two of the young elders, and went to choir practice. We sang The Battle Hymn of the Republic, which, in the practice seemed a bit rough around the edges, but the actual presentation was quite awesome. Tears were close to the surface as we sang that last Glory, Glory, Hallelujah.
One of my missionary cohort was the first to give a sacrament meeting talk today. She, of course, gave an uplifting talk focusing on the conference talk "Be Thou Humble" by Elder Steven E Snow. She and I went to the Sunday School class on Family Tree. I decided I really ought to pay more attention to the brother presenting and I picked up a few pointers.
Our session of Preach My Gospel focused on prayer, and receiving answers to prayers. Each of us was able to bear testimony of how the Lord has blessed us with needed answers to prayer.
The chicken was nicely warmed when I got back to the apartment, and the other hostesses had brought a pasta dish, bread sticks, dessert, and a salad. I added fruit salad and some of my watermelon rind pickles, which everyone seemed to enjoy. With the dining area relocated into what used to be the "living room" the five of us were quite comfortable. We enjoyed getting to know the two elders who came to dinner, we talked a lot about family and prayer, and the message they brought reminded us that with the Lord's help we can do whatever is required of us.
When the guests had left I was able to type up the list of hosts for next week's dinners.
Talking with my Sweetheart was a wonderful end to the day.
